As I prepare for the new growing seasons, sow my natural dye seeds and research recipes it seems like the perfect time to share photos from my experiments with Japanese Indigo from last summer. It was my first time growing…

Sitting outside in the sun and making a basket using natural materials that I find in the surrounding forest is my idea of a perfect day. I hand harvest bark, cattails, grasses, wood, plant dyes, and much more to create art that connects both me and the viewer to the natural world. Currently I work out of my studio in Rosendale, NY and teach basketry workshops throughout the Hudson Valley. This website is a record of my process, ideas, and inspirations regarding art and nature--- enjoy!
